You may always wonder what is the future for Dual Eligibles under the Affordable Care Act. Is it too good to be true or eventually doing harm to the benefits of Medicare benefits? We may seek answer from the series of lectures/seminars from the UCLA health forum on April 24, 2013.

The UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health is pleased to host The Health Forum at UCLA (FSPH), a series of regularly scheduled free public programs featuring health leaders discussing critical issues in public health.

"U.S. and California Pursue Coordinated Care for Dual Eligibles:
What's Next for Cal-MediConnect?"
California has over 450,000 people eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal coverage, also known as "dual eligibles." Dual eligible beneficiaries face difficulties navigating a currently fragmented medical system to find the services they need to treat serious and chronic medical conditions. Recently, California received Federal approval for a three-year demonstration program, Cal-MediConnect, to improve coordinated health care delivery and quality of services to dual eligibles which will be integrated in eight counties, including Los Angeles County. In this health forum we will discuss what changes in health service delivery dual eligibles should expect to see in managed care plans and network delivery systems.
